There not doing it here in Cleveland either, but I heard in Baltimore some purchase transport is doing shuttle runs. Could that be, because they can't find or hold on to people to work there because of there own policies?Haven't heard anything here yet, but wouldn't surprise me in the least
Grocery Thrower wasn't he a shuttle driver 95% of the time out of a drop lot in Oklahoma? I know he went back and fourth one bid he was on shuttle next bid he was on delivery then back to shuttle. I miss that guy.Our shuttles originate from the yards and we have 1 for our opco. They are payed by the hour.
Moneyman said GT has moved on to other things and is to busy to hangout with us right now. Have not seen him on here in a very long time.We do not do bids. What happened to get?
They built that warehouse there and now they have to make it pay. Busting into a new market.Yeah sofo runs around here and Gordon is really trying to get business.
Sysco Lincoln (used to be Pegler/Sysco) is the same way. They do business in 4-5 other Sysco location's territories. As much as corporate focuses on saving $$$ I never understood how they let this happen when the other houses could take the businessThat shuttle is from sysco eastern md out of pocomoke city md wayy down the shore take a look. That's the warehouse I use to work for a very large and profitable sysco . They eliminatedon't their shuttle runs maybe 8 year ago, to be more profitable. They had shuttle drivers making 80 to 90k. They use to throw around money like crazy at that sysco when it was run by the Lankfords which are from pocomoke.
It was once called lankford-sysco until corporate took over everything. There is actually Lankfords working at corporate sysco still do this day they were a very powerful family and ran most of the East cost taking business from many of the sysco houses on East coast. I know it's a long story lol but can be very interesting. Anyway they still have quite a bit of shuttle yards and still do quite a bit of business in other sysco territory, heck I was driving 10 hrs to Buffalo and Niagara Falls NY and 8 hrs to Boston doing stops lol.
Anyway yes they now use a company called dedicated transport to pull their shuttle which they have a couple yards in Baltimore area which is about 2 or more hrs from the. I believe dedicated is headquartered somewhere in Ohio mike.
Most of the Sysco houses were stand alone companies before joining/being bought by Sysco.
KC was Mid-Central Food services, then was known as Mid-Central/Sysco eventually renamed Sysco KC.
Lincoln was Pegler Food Service, then Pegler/Sysco after joining Sysco eventually renamed Sysco Lincoln.
Robert-Orr, Lankford, several others the same way.
